Brownstoner's Brooklyn Flea

On a brisk Sunday, with visions of mid-century modern tables and retro textiles dancing in their heads, editors Monica Michael Willis (near right) and Rebecca Thienes headed to Fort Greene, Brooklyn, for Brownstoner's Brooklyn Flea. Since its debut in April, the market has attracted the attention of thousands of like-minded shoppers, to say nothing of the more than 400 vintage-clothing dealers, antique-furniture sellers, artisan food-makers, jewelry designers, and other vendors who sell at the Flea on a rotating basis. "Everyone from specialty sellers to true junk purveyors are here," says Rebecca. Flea owners Jonathan Butler and Eric Demby work hard to keep such an eclectic mix. "You can't put our vendors all in one box," says Jonathan. "Right now," adds Eric, "there's nothing else like the Flea in New York City."
